    Defencing Corners

    After watching highlights of our match at Reading what on earth do the do, if anything, when training to defend corners. Reading nearly scored from a corner in the 1st half and did score in the 90th minute. Calamity Keogh was marking the invisable man. Surely someone should organise the defence to ensure the opposition is marked and move with the player they're marking not stand around gawping. FFS.

    It should all be sorted on the training ground!! Been one of a number of defensive issues going back to the time of NC. Players need to take responsibility on the pitch, god they've been playing the game long enough!! Successive managers have failed to sort it, at least the poisoned dwarf knew how to shut up shop!!

    He brought in Darren Moore, I'd love a Darren Moore type defender now!

    No argument about Darren Moore but...he also brought in his namesake Claude...just one of many reasons he should never be forgiven.

    Sorry to disappoint you Adi and be pedantic but Phil Brown signed Darren Moore.
